The quickest way to cool down the situation would be to have Donny defect to Sevastopol (Couldn't find Moscow) and learn that the oligarchs hate him as much as Xi, and the Republican Guard do. Do not stop viewing this situation as anything other than a barfight that some dude started and wants you to join his side.

Being an Orioles fan I'm kinda hoping he gets behind the sox:)

He attended an NFL game last year. Of course the home team Washington Commanders got smoked by Detroit.

Now I’m a Lions fan so I enjoyed it but still he cursed DCs home team.

And the WH pasted him back in.

“I hate to get involved even though politically it doesn’t matter so much. The head of Argentina is a friend of mine. He’s done a terrific job. But I would say that it’s hard to bet against [Lionel] Messi. ... I just think it’s very hard to bet against Messi. He’s great."

* Politics have no place in the World Cup, the Olympics, or pretty much any major sporting event. That's not to say that assholes like the Fulvous Fuckwad doesn't insert his baseless political beliefs into everything he does or says.

* Of a certain the "head of Argentina is a friend" of our Pissant POTUS; Milei is a bird of a feather; an authoritarian right wingnut Christo-fascist.

* Yeah, fine, it's hard to bet against Lionel Messi. But it's also hard to bet against Spain when one of their Midfielders -- and Captain -- set a World Cup record this year. Rodri (Rodrigo Hernández) "tops Spain's tournament figures for touches (794), accurate passes (655), accurate final-third passes (173), duels won (41), possessions won (34), tackles (22), and is joint-leading for open-play chances created (9). That is not dominance in one or two categories – it is near-total statistical ownership of Spain's midfield output.

... Rodri has completed more passes at a single World Cup than any player on record, attempting 705 and converting 655 at an accuracy rate of 92.91 percent" https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/record-passing-numbers-put-rodri-072500666.html

* While I would have liked to see Argentina win, for Messi in his likely final appearance on the world stage and to be only the third team to win back to back World Cups, there is still joy to be had in Spain's victory. Spain has got to be the number one European country on Pres Btfsplk's shit list and the schadenfreude and popcorn was sublime.

Spain was the real deal out there...

Sheinbaum and Carney, just behind Trump, though, didn't deserve those boos. Must have been very, very uncomfortable for Trump sitting next to Pedro Sanchez and King Felipe VI in the VIP box. Good!

Argentina's bold strategy of not shooting at Spain's goal didn't work out

Even Infantino must realize what a turd Agent Orange is. And yet he still licks his boots, to everyone's detriment

I think Trump was just confused. They should not have let him wander like that unattended. Where was Melanie? Or his dip shit offspring?

If only he had people who love him.

Ta, Gary. I'm not a sportsball fan. I just wanted Spain to win because of what That Thing in the Offal Office said at NATO/OTAN.

Speaking about the intersection of Trump and sports, Bryson Dechambeau tried to call Donnie Diapers from the British Open. Bryson was assessed a 2 stroke penalty for improving his lie, and he tried to get Trump to strong arm the R&A, like Trump did to FIFA.

Bryson is such a whiny MAGA douchebag.

Actually I thought Trump has the real Club World Cup Trophy and Infantino had to give Chelsea a cheap replica. Don’t know if they ever gave them a real one.

Trump could Bill Buckner the Bosox harder than Bill Buckner ever could.

irish379's avatar

not for nothing, but Buckner did not cost The Sox the 86 series. That was Game 6. They played Game 7 the following night and The Sox again coughed up the lead. Boston's shitty bullpen of Calvin Schraldi & Bob Stanley plus Drunk John MacNamara cost The BoSox the series
